Apologies if it’s posted on here or someone has sent links. But does anyone know where to find your ST to add to your wallet? I’ve linked my accounts, but the tickets I have suggest they’re just for upcoming games? Confused… Town will generally email out links to add to wallet in the lead up to the first game... |

JE - “As we sit here today now, we are past the 14,000 mark with our season-ticket sales, ahead of where we were at this point going into the season last year, and not just have our staff worked hard to make that happen, but the supporters have shown that they are with the football club, they believe in where we’re going, they believe in the journey ahead, and they’ve spoken"

No it doesnt.
Unless you know how many we'd have sold if theyd gone up a quid or two a game.

Whether Im right or youre right doesnt matter...how many weve sold doesnt prove anything unless you also know how many we would have sold with a small price rise...which you dont. I thought a few would drop off because we've gone down, so great that hasnt happened. |

Not wanting this to come across as BBB, because we all know how that ends…
But with the home crowds being decent, and if, I stress if we can get a good start and build momentum, then we should be using the home games and decent crowds to our advantage. I know there are other grounds in this division that have decent capacities, but even at two thirds full, our ground can generate a decent atmosphere.
We need to harness that to our advantage.
There’s no rule that states bigger ground and more supporters wins things by default, but let’s give it a good shot at the very least…

No-one is bothered if the prices go up when you've had a good season, but you can't whack the prices up if you've had a shite season. People can argue until they're blue in the face over it, but it won't change.
If we get promoted this season and the prices go up, you'll see very few complaints. And rightly so.

If we are challenging we should get 16000 plus home fans. Looking at EFL highlights there seems to be a surge in attendance in L1 as L2. Brum got 28000 and there were over 10000 at four grounds. In L2 half the clubs go over 5000. At a time when we are saturated with football on TV.

So we are about 2k down. That's not bad considering weve been relegated...and still some buying time yet for anyone waiting to see how we start the season. A small price rise might have put a few people off, but I dont think it would have been many at all. If youre not put off by relegation then are you going to be put off by it costing an extra £50? When you know it's still a bargain? And of course they could have kept it the same price in for example the North stand lower for those who wont pay any more. |

When you know it's still a bargain? And of course they could have kept it the same price in for example the North stand lower for those who wont pay any more. I would not have renewed with a £1 price rise after relegation. And wouldn't have moved to the North Stand Lower to avoid that price. Its not "a bargain", its the personal value associated with the product, and the product has devalued with relegation and actually is further devalued with the increase in accessibility on TV. For me as an individual, we're right on the limit of what I value a League 1 football season at. Hopefully we get promoted at first attempt, and there's not that many more who value it similarly to me, otherwise prices will be going up next season, crowds will be down and we'll be having the struggle of trying to get out of League 1 with reduced backing in a big empty stadium and lower available playing budget. Championship in 25/26? up to £275 I'd be buying without question, beyond that I'd have a few questions to ask myself, and anything £300 or above would see me taking advantage of most games being available on TV. YES...I paid more than this historically, football isn't as "important" to me now, its value has decreased (and has decreased further with the new TV deal). Another question - how many MORE people would have purchased with a £50 rise? 🤭😆 The answer is obvious. And thats what makes it difficult for the club and what would have made any decision to increase after a relegation frankly ludicrous. |

I see it I just think its wrong.
If you get something for much less than the normal price, then you are getting a bargain. It's literally the definition of the word if you look it up!
Thats what weve been getting for many years...a bargain.
If you stop going because your team gets relegated then youre not that big a fan,,,,which is fine. Not a criticism at all. Some people just arent as into it as others, or only want to go if the teams being successful.
If you stop going because they want an extra quid a week out of you because you've been getting this bargain for years and that cant really go on,,so you'll still be getting a bargain,,just not as much of one...then you belong in a comedy sketch about tight Yorkshiremen !!

I think where we have an issue is your definition of "the normal price", which seems to include other football clubs season tickets that I have no interest in buying. If I buy Aldi cereal at 50p that happens to be a *very* similar product to what sells with a Kellogs label on the box for £2, that does NOT mean the normal price of Aldi cereal should be £2, and does NOT mean that 50p Aldi cereal is some kind of temporary "bargain" that I should be grateful for and the price will *have* to rise🤷♂️ A bargain is something that is offered for sale much cheaper than is usual or expected. The usual price for a Hudds Town season ticket as measured over an extended period of 10 years or more, is £250. A bargain would be if they were £175. I do agree I'm less of a fan than I once was...was it £399 when we were in the bottom division last time? I paid that happily, as that was close to the value I associated a Hudds Town season ticket at that time - and I happily paid whatever it was in cash on a game by game basis in the 1980's. But, I'm not sure how that equates to a comedy sketch about tight Yorkshiremen...more than what you're saying applies to a comedy sketch with a Harry Enfield cross between a Loadsamoney and Nice But Dim Tim character effectively demanding that Aldi take more money off him for their 50p cereal. |

Thats an odd way at looking at it, if you dont mind me saying. There a price to watch professional football in this country, and weve been very lucky to have not had to pay the normal price for that for a very long time. Not even close to it. Weve been paying much less than practically every fan of every other club in the top 5 divisions, and even less than some fans who's clubs in the 6th tier and arent even full time. I really dont get how you can say that isnt a bargain. You just want to compare our prices, with our prices ? And anything other than these really low prices isnt acceptable? Thats a bit unrealistic isnt it. When I tell people up here our SCs are £249 and have been for years they genuinely cant believe it. Boro fans, Sunderland fans. I know a guy with a Spennymoor season ticket which cost him £1 more. They piss themselves when I tell them people were coughing up a lung at the idea they might go up £50 ! |

People need to start getting their heads around things now if they think they'll only be paying £25 more for season tickets next season, whether we are promoted or not.
We've had great prices, in comparison to the vast majority of football fans, but we can't expect that to continue. Bradford are knackered cos their tickets have been so cheap for far too long, the only thing their owner can hope for is promotion otherwise increases will decimate their crowd - there might only be 53,000 in for home games.
Our prices will undoubtedly go up next season, so some folk ought to start readying themselves for it now.

To be honest mate I think with this new SKY rule the game regime, will be a big dip in the amount of season tickets sold at all clubs whatever price they are. Bradfords are 249 like ours this season and dropped 3k I do believe? |

Bradfords are 249 like ours this season and dropped 3k I do believe? Correct...the VALUE, or price people are prepared and expect to pay, to watch football in the flesh has declined with this deal. Assuming we don't rapidly get promoted and the price goes up, then crowds WILL decline and revenues will drop through the floor. Hopefully in that scenario the club will have fixed the hugely failing parts of the business to cover the shortfall, or KNs fortune will be declining more rapidly than planned! It happened in the PL, growing numbers of people became armchair supporters over the last 30 years, the difference being that the clubs up there have that draw and thousands of folk ready to pay for the dispersed supporter base...an assumption that happens at Town, currently a 3rd tier club, is delusional....we've seen that not that long ago where "Kellogs" pricing and 3rd tier football saw 8000 or so renewing and Dean stepping in with an approach that was centered around filling the ground pretty much at all costs. |
